How to Manually Install a WordPress Plugin

Learn how to manually install a WordPress plugin by uploading the zip file, ensuring complete control over your website's functionality.

The automatic installation of a plugin is easy and straightforward, but manual installation gives you more control over the process.

Make sure you have already downloaded a zip file of the plugin to your desktop.

• Log in to the WordPress dashboard.

• From the Dashboard menu, go to Plugins and click on Add New.

• Click on Upload Plugin and then on Browse. Choose your plugin's zip file and click Install Now.

• Click on Activate Plugin.

After activating a plugin, a new menu for that plugin will be added to the Dashboard menu. Check for any setup options if needed!

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and activated a new WordPress plugin.
